hmmm...


a snippet of a conversation today.

me: "you boys are being so whiny today. please repeat after me---i am thankful..."

boys: "i am thankful..."

me: "for what i have..."

boys: "for what i have..."

me: "and i do not need anything more."

boys: "and i do not need anything more."

me: "ok--so let's stop asking for more toys, more snacks, more movies, more shows..."

sy : "more butts."

after an eruption of laughter from both soren and me i ask, "what would you do if you had another butt?"

sy with a weird mischievous grin: "take care of it like a pet."

is there a therapist in the house?

Funniest thing I've seen on the Internets in several days! The demonic smiling picture only add to the story.

See you all in a few days!

Sorry...I had to take a break...hold my stomach (it hurt from laughing)...blow my nose from almost crying...and wipe off the computer screen from the spit when I burst out laughing!

Anne, Anne, Anne...you were definitely chosen to be the Mom of these two little guys! Your sense of humor and understanding is priceless. Hang in there, girl. I have a feeling this is ONLY THE BEGINNING! (but you have to admit, the imagination is priceless!)

So hilarious and adorable. I have been loving the blog contact we've had lately. I miss you like crazy!

Love you, Annie

LOL! Reminds me of a similar convo I had with Jonah (about the same age as Sy, no? ;))... he wanted to know if Jesus created our butts. This is tandem with a conversation about keeping the Sabbath Day holy? Where oh where di it come from?
